$1M for? I dunno. We were selling off second rounders for $500k and I thought it was silly. Now apparently it makes sense to dump a “pittance” of a cool million to look at someone in summer league.

We didn't have readily available roster spots last year. We do have several this year. It's not the same situation.

Wouldn’t being picked up by an nba team indicate he isn’t falling through the cracks? I’m interested to see what he is signed to and what his contract looks like. If he’s signed wouldn’t that indicate he didn’t slip through the cracks?

My comment was in relation to someone calling him the next Batum. It seemed like people already pegged him as a 15+ minute guy. I was just trying to pump the brakes a little. It's highly unlikely they are gonna find someone in Europe who's gonna come right in and be a starter. If that athlete is in Europe, several teams are looking at him and he's already created a buzz.

It was a couple years, but I do get the roster crunch... I just don't think its fair to complain when we sell picks and then complain when they invest in other dudes and then end up cutting them.

I think I argued that you should keep the picks instead of selling them and cut the guys if they weren't good enough... landing a really cheap contributor is such a huge deal that it's okay to get a guy in to SL and if you whiff just cut him. sometimes you can tell dudes will be solid in that small of a sample size.

Even if we cut all three of the guys we picked this year I applaud the front office and ownership for investing and taking some chances/risk.

Are you saying someone porked the babysitter?

Lol at suggesting Oni is good enough to be on the jazz roster. He was horrible

So much for a couple of our second rounders making the roster.

When it comes to these moves I guess you just give the FO the benefit of the doubt and hope for the best.

Still two roster spots and two 2-ways to go, am I right?

There are no more roster spots--see post 1 of this thread https://jazzfanz.com/threads/jazz-sign-miye-oni.113154/

edit--unless some of the contracts are not fully guaranteed, or unless the Jazz decide to cut a guy and eat the contract to make room for someone else.
